Moldy Eggs?

Hi, all!

I am a new leopard breeder and am experiencing some issues with my eggs. I have them in moist vermiculite in a plastic sandwich-sided storage container in an incubator (a hovavator) with the temps set to around 85. Most of the eggs are looking healthy and good! I have two, however, that became VERY moldy. I tried turning up the heat and putting in drier vermiculite, but nothing worked.

Now another one is starting: what can I do to save this little one? Should I turn up the heat, put the eggs in completely dry substrate, etc.??

Any advice would be appreciated.

Susan H
